The response obviously isn't a guarantee of any reform, but it does confirm rumors that have circulated since he was elected president: Rouhani wants to give Iranians more access to the Internet, including social networks like Twitter and Facebook, which have been blocked since the Green Movement in 2009.

Rouhani — or the team behind the account — also broke the news on Twitter of his historic phone conversation with United States President Barack Obama last week, which was the first to take place between the leaders of the two countries since 1979.

We will have to wait and see if Rouhani's words turn into real change.
